    add a 15 minute session with a skip rope, great for burning calories

    Replace quorn with linda mccartney sausages/burgers as they have more protein content

    Re: To much exercise?

    increase your running for example aim for following:

    1: 3 mile run in around 22:30 mins
    2: try a "bleep test" and try aim for lvl 13, though it quite hard to get around 9ish is pretty avg,

    3: try press-ups and pull ups to build up. aim for about 60 press and 6 pull ups(overgrasp the hardest)

    this will help lots, suggest short runs but fast ie maybe throw in a 2 miler and aim for about 14 mins or less.

    Yeah good points, My mile run is now down to 25:30 mins so no to far off. Press ups i can manage around 40 with a stop in the middle. And pull ups around 7ish maybe 8 but they hurt lol. I've gone for a 1.5 mile short but fast run instead of long runs also, thanks.

    Re: To much exercise?

    So my revised plan is as follows:

    Mon 1.5 Speed run 40 press ups 10 pull ups 20 mins punch bag 3x8 multi gym
    Tues 3 mile run 40 press ups 10 pull ups
    Wed rest and stretch
    Thurs 1.5 speed run 40 press ups 10 pull ups 20 mins punch bag 3x8 multi gym
    Fri 3 mile run 40 press ups 10 pull ups
    Sat Rest stretch
    Sun 1.5 Speed run 40 press ups 10 pull ups 20 mins punch bag 3x8 multi gym

    Now for me to have 2 days off a week from doing anything is going to be hard as I'm really getting into this and having fun. Thanks all.
